Another "Character adaptation" commission for :iconsrgntdrew:, re-imagining their characters as they might appear in Alvez, the world of Kroashent. Today's introduction is Bantiarna Álainnee, an adaptation of the kitsune Mieko Yamauchi.

Bantiarna Álainnee is a Tuatha de Danaan noblewoman and the former sponsor of the Coppertune Sisters: https://www.deviantart.com/kathalia/art/Kroashent-Commission-The-Coppertune-Sisters-876884204. Operating in the Faerie court of Kameled, Álainnee craves power, not just over her own subjects, but all the Fortunate Isles, and engages in constant scheming and power plays. Then the latest of this pitted her again the Sea King Lyr, she had prepared one of her underlings to take the fall. What she had not expected was her own lieutenant betraying her, rescuing the fallen minion and escaping to the continent. But Álainnee has not forgotten the sisters and even now, plots her revenge upon them. preparing a lesson that will cement the fear and loyalty of her remaining followers....

Val's Notes: Following up on the Coppertune Sisters, is their nemesis. Mieko Yamauchi (Original shown here: https://www.deviantart.com/srgntdrew/art/Mieko-Yamauchi-527763421) Meiko proved an interesting challenge to adapt from a very Japanese inspired character to one that would fit in well with the Celtic/Western European influences of Kroashent. I wanted to ensure that the core character remained, retaining her distinct features while also fitting in the lore. In the end, I am quite pleased with the results! Bantiarna is a noble rank equivalent to a Countess.
